Retirement is generally something we put into the back of our mind, thinking that it is an issue that will eventually take care of itself. However, retirement is probably one of the most important issues we will confront in our lifetime. It is a process that starts with our first job and continues to be refined throughout our career.
Retirement services must have a 60- 90 days’ notice of your retirement. This notice may be given by sending an email to retirement@cityoftulsa.org.
